NUPIGECO has been a recognized global leader for the last 30 years in the development and production of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) thermoplastic piping systems for plumbing and natural gas applications. In 1995, following the completion of an extensive Research and Development program, NUPIGECO introduced a new range of revolutionary piping systems specifically designed for petroleum, chemical, and petrochemical applications. Since then, two specialty piping systems have been marketed world wide:

SMARTFLEX for the Downstream and OILTECH for the Upstream.

OILTECH Y100 Applications Featuring ZERO* PERMEATION to hydrocarbons, the Y100 Series is the elective choice whenever environmental issues are at the stake. The pressure rating of 300psi allows OILTECH Y100 to best suit operating conditions in a wide variety of Oil & Gas applications: produced fluids, salt water, disposal and the transmission lines.



OILTECH Y100 piping system benefits and characteristics

• Multi-layer structure -> ID with thermoplastic liner
• Two pressure rating classes -> 200psi & 300psi
• Not permeable to hydrocarbons -> Environmentally friendly
• Not affected by H2S -> Safety and efficiency
• Flexibility -> Available in long runs coils & straight lengths with a tight bending radius
• Extremely smooth internal -> Smoothness provides reduced head loss
• Light weight -> Easy and inexpensive handling
• Scale and build up (paraffin) resistance -> Maximize production & lowers downtime cost
• Corrosion resistant to CO2 and carbonic acid -> Longer life
• Abrasion resistant -> High efficiency, longevity
• Impact resistant -> Above ground installation friendly even at low temperatures
• UV resistant -> Reliability over time
• Wide range of chemical resistance -> Versatility
• Creep resistant -> Structural reliability
• Stress cracking resistant -> Structural strength
• Electro fusion capable -> Easy and reliable method of installation
• Traceability -> All welds can be recorded and data stored via barcode technology, GPS positioning capability
• External liner available as an option -> For extreme operating conditions

OILTECH Y100 Piping System Benefits

• Fast & cost effective installation:
Coil pipe deployment uses less fittings for a faster rollout
• Competitive cost:
Fewer connections
• Low maintenance cost:
Increases savings for hot oiling and chemical injection programs
• Ease of repair:
If damaged, reduced down time using OILTECH Y100 electro fusion fittings
• No heavy equipment needed:
Only spool trailer, pick up truck, hand tools and OILTECH processor (multi-function welding unit) generally required
